Use the 1 field to specify whether the 1 field value is displayed in seconds or minutes. This field is only required for periodic exception processing.

The 1 field specifies how often Db2® instrumentation data is gathered, examined for exceptions, and reported if an exception condition occurs. All periodic exception messages are gathered periodically as specified by this field, and reported when the display is refreshed. After the elapsed period, if any periodic exceptions have occurred, the Exception Notification window is displayed and shows the number of warning and problem level exceptions. This field is only required for periodic exception processing.

You can request a Log File data set or DPMOUT data set to be written by selecting Log file data set output needed or DPMOUT data set output needed from the Exception Processor panel, respectively. When you request a log or DPMOUT file, the Exception Output Data Sets window is displayed. For more information, see Exception Output Data Sets window.
Tip: Previously selected fields are indicated by a greater than symbol (>).

The Exception threshold data set field contains the name of the Exception Threshold data set used as input to the exception processor. The data set is built using the Exception Threshold Field Details panel. The Online Monitor exception processor uses the information in this data set to test fields for exception conditions.

Note: A valid Exception Threshold data set needs to be specified in the Exception Processor panel before activating display exception, periodic exception, or exception event processing.
